In 1989, Michael Moore, winner of 2002\'s Best Documentary Feature Academy Award and Cannes Film Festival Special Jury Prize for Bowling for Columbine,triumphantly burst upon the American moviemaking scene with Roger & Me,a hilarious, penetrating forerunner of the independent film movement to follow. Moore doggedly and hilariously tried to do what every working stiff dreams of: talk to the man at the top. His efforts to meet General Motors Chairman Roger Smith and persuade him to visit Flint, Michigan, frame a film that uses humor to devsatating effect. Roger & Me champions people over profits and slyly lampoons corporate America as it shows how the Flint folks cope with economic setbacks.
